The destinations were; Athens, the historic and vibrant capital of Greece, and the two most popular Greek islands, Mykonos and Santorini.

Enjoy the unforgettable moments…

ATHENS

The “Cycladia Calling” journey commenced with a delicious gourmet dinner at the beautiful Gourmet Restaurant Kuzina in Thiseo, which offered a spectacular view of the Acropolis.

3 people were invited to explore the cosmopolitan destination that so skillfully marries jet set venues with nature’s rich heritage and Cycladic beauties. The day-to-day itinerary was filled with sightseeing and taste. From Mykonos Chora to the breathtaking Little Venice, Delos Island and Rinia Island were only a few of the many places visited. Gastronomic delights created by awarded chefs were savored and cocktails by the water were enjoyed. 4 memorable days were spent in hotels on Mykonos island… a place everyone plans to visit soon again.

Santorini, one of the most remarkable and mysterious destinations in the world, famous for its captivating sunsets and romantic atmosphere was visited by 7 people. An island bursting with beautiful secrets and places was most suitable for this adventurous journey. With the intent to explore the whole island, the main town of Fira, romantic Oia and the historical town of Pyrgos were only a few of the many destinations visited. An unforgettable tour of the caldera with a chartered sailing yacht revealed the notorious splendor of the Volcano and unique landscapes. Luxurious hotels in Santorini hosted the visitors. Delicious gourmet dishes were relished daily and the history of the renowned Santorini wine was shared. Beautiful sights were seen, friendships created – a treasured experience that will remain unforgettable.
